Chapter 092

A fire burned down the main house on Siming Street, but fortunately it was saved quickly, and the whole house was not burned down, nor did it burn to the neighbors, but the main house burned down very thoroughly.

When Ye Qian heard the news, she jumped up from the chair in shock, and Bai Zhen, who was combing her hair, felt her hand tighten, and saw that a few strands of jet-black hair had been torn off in her hand.

"Quick, just pick it up." Ye Qian didn't even have breakfast, and hurriedly went to Siyuan Hall.

"Mother, is this true?" Meng Shi was staring at Ye Shuo eating, she was worried that her youngest son would eat too much, and she would have to watch it with her own eyes every time she ate. Seeing that the little daughter was coming, he nodded gloomily.

"What the hell is going on?" Ye Qian was a little anxious, "Is someone arson or accidentally walking into ......the water?"

"It was your third aunt who set the fire." Meng Shi sighed, someone came to report late last night, and Hou Ye rushed over as soon as he heard about it, and he had already figured out what was going on.

"Third aunt, she, she's not like this, right? Even if Master Mei was beheaded today, the third aunt shouldn't have done such an extreme thing, and even burned the third uncle to death. Ye Qian was very puzzled, without a father, isn't there still a third uncle, why is the third aunt like this?

Meng Shi saw that Ye Shuo had finished eating, so he asked him to take him down, Ye Shuo was very eye-catching, and he also knew that something big had happened in the family, so he left obediently, but he went out of the room, but he turned back again, and quietly walked under the window to eavesdrop on his mother and sister. The maids in the courtyard looked at him amusedly, but he waved his hand at them, signaling them to be silent.

Meng told Ye Qian that Ye Chengshu had deceived Mei's dowry and testified that he had framed Master Mei, "Not only that, but he also raised the outer room, and the sons of the outer room are almost thirteen years old, older than you, your third aunt found out about this outer room and quarreled with the third uncle, and the third uncle was angry and said that he would carry the outer room as a flat wife." Your third aunt said that she would wait for Master Mei to behead and then do this, the two have been peaceful in the past few months, no quarrel or trouble, I didn't expect that your third aunt would ...... Alas. She only knew about Ye Chengshu's testimony, and the rest of the news she had just heard from Hou Ye, who had passed in the middle of the night and interrogated Mei's eldest maid overnight to know this.

Ye Qian was dumbfounded, she always thought that the third uncle liked the third aunt very much, and the two were very affectionate, but she didn't expect that all this was fake, and it had been fake for more than ten years, the third uncle was really good at acting.

Ye Qian's eyes became confused, and she asked hesitantly: "Mother, father, is there any ......" Could it be that in addition to the third uncle, his father is also like this?

Meng almost laughed, "No, don't worry, my mother is not confused." ”

Ye Qian lowered her eyes gloomily, and she didn't know what was going on with King Yu behind her back?

The baby daughter's careful thoughts, Meng Shi saw at a glance, "Don't worry, King Yu is also a good one, and my father and mother will help you watch it." "Ye Chengshu and Mei's affection on the surface, it's not to befriend Lord Mei, plus Mei's father and daughter are confused, they don't pay attention to this at all, and they haven't found out that Ye Chengshu has raised an outer room for more than ten years.

King Yu and Ye Chengshu are different, King Yu has been very good to her since he married his baby daughter, and at that time, there was nothing in the Hou Mansion that made him flatter. Speaking of which, a person like King Yu is really rare, a noble prince, a noble prince, and born handsome, eighteen years old, there is no woman around, not to mention the concubines, not even a maid, all the inner servants.

"Qianqian went to change her clothes, we have to go to Siming Street now." Ye Qian is still wearing a primrose-colored gown, such a fresh color is not suitable.

Ye Qian changed into a white dress and went to Siming Street with her mother and brother, Ji Pinghou passed last night, and Ye Li had not yet returned from the barracks.

The husband and wife of the three rooms were all burned to death, not only Ji Ping was waiting, but the patriarch also rushed over, and was discussing in a low voice what to do about the funeral, you know, there are no children in the third room, let alone the funeral, and there will be no one to worship the grave in the future.

Ye Qian stood aside and listened silently for a while, and was about to say something when he heard a commotion at the courtyard gate.

"What's going on?" Ji Pinghou's face sank, he had already guessed who was coming.

Sure enough, a woman in white broke in, she was holding a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in her left hand and a seven or eight-year-old girl in her right hand, which was Ye Chengshu's outer room A Yuan.

"Sir! Master, you just went like this, how can you live without our orphans and widows? As soon as Ah Yuan came in, there was a burst of crying, and Ye Yan and Ye Ru also cried loudly, "Daddy".

This moment immediately attracted the attention of the entire house, and all the people present stopped and looked at the mother and son.

"What's going on?" The old patriarch's crutch struck the ground a few times.

Ah Yuan stopped crying, his eyes turned to see Ji Pinghou on the side, pounced, knelt at his feet, and pulled the corners of his robe tightly with both hands.

Ye Qian's eyebrows jumped, and she looked at her hands as thin as clotted fat in disgust.

Ji Pinghou took two steps back, but Ah Yuan pulled the corners of his robe and didn't loosen it, "Please Hou Ye make the decision for us, the little girl is the third master's person, and these two children are also the children of the third master, the third master has already promised to raise me as a flat wife today, but I didn't expect him to ......" She whimpered and cried, the pear blossoms brought rain, and it was very moving.

Ye Qian looked at his father's face vigilantly, and saw that he frowned, obviously forbearing, so he let go and sneered, "This is really funny, as soon as the third uncle passed away, someone came to the door to say that it was his woman, is it waiting for a while to be the sister-in-law of the Zhang family and the aunt of the Wang family, everyone has a child, saying that it is my third uncle's son, who wants to come to divide the family property in three rooms?" ”

Ah Yuan cried for a while, and couldn't help but want to go back, but she knew that Ji Pinghou had a daughter, who was married to King Yu, she saw that Ye Qian was twelve or thirteen years old, and she was not sure whether she was the daughter of the big house or the second room, and she didn't dare to rush into the conflict, so she only said sadly: "The concubine has been with the third master for more than ten years, how can it be fake?" ”

Ye Qian saw at a glance that the little girl beside her had a hairpin on her head, and she recognized the hairpin as the dowry of the third aunt. It was a white jade hairpin, the jade was warm and transparent, but it was not carved into any flowers and plants, but carved a very cute jade rabbit. The hairpin was originally a pair, she happened to see it when she was playing with the third aunt when she was a child, and she played with it in her hand, but she accidentally dropped it and broke one. She had never broken other people's things, and she was extremely guilty at the time, but the third aunt said that it didn't matter, not only did she not blame her, but also gave her another pair of intact hostas, which were very similar to this pair, but they were carved in the shape of a lamb, and the horns were like rolled up clouds.

The third uncle coaxed the third aunt's dowry, wouldn't it all be put to this woman? The anger in Ye Qian's heart burned, "You have deceived my third uncle for more than ten years, and now that my third uncle has passed away, you want these two children of unknown origin to pretend to be the children of my third uncle, come and lock up the three people who were abducted and deceived in this pit, I want to interrogate them personally!" "The third aunt's dowry, she wants to let them spit it out without dropping.

Everyone knew that she was Ji Pinghou's favorite little daughter, and when they saw Ji Pinghou standing aside, they didn't mean to stop it at all, and they looked like they were completely at their daughter's disposal of the matter, and immediately several mothers-in-law hugged her and grabbed the mother and son.

"What are you—you—you don't have the right to do that!" Ah Yuan struggled hard, and the two children also cried loudly.

"Who said she doesn't have rights?!" Ye Li came in and strode to Ye Qian's side, "What she said is what I mean, and what she says is what Jiping Hou Shizi says." ”

Ye Chengyuan smiled slightly, "She is my daughter, and what she says is naturally what I mean, what she says is what Ji Pinghou says." ”

Ye Shuo walked up to her, held his small chest and said loudly: "My sister's words are what I mean, and what she says is what I Ye Shuo says." ”

Ah Yuan was dumbfounded, she didn't expect Ye Qian to be hostile to herself, and she didn't expect that the people of the Ye family would spoil her so much, Ji Pinghou's father and son were messing around with her, it stands to reason that Ye Chengshu has no children, this funeral is not easy, and now that a son is sent to the door, shouldn't they happily accept themselves and these two children?

Ji Pinghou and Shizi both spoke, what else was there to say, and several stout mothers-in-law rushed up and took the three of them down.

The old patriarch has already understood, this woman is probably really raised by the third master, and these two children are probably really the children of the third master, but since there is Hou Ye, even if he is the patriarch, he still has to look at Hou Ye's face.

Ye Chengyuan knew about the existence of this woman a few years ago, he originally planned to let Ye Ji recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, after all, he was Ye Chengshu's flesh and blood, but he didn't expect his little daughter to be unwilling, it's just that his own daughter is important, I didn't see Qianqian's little face turned red, obviously angry.

The second wife, Qi Shi, also came over, and whispered: "If that kid is really the son of the third brother, then why don't you just let him give it to the third brother-"

"Second aunt." Ye Qian stopped her, "Even if the third uncle doesn't have children, he can't let a person of unknown origin be his son, there are so many children in our clan, just pick one to pass to the third room, at least the Ye family is innocent." ”

The Qi family didn't dare to say anything, since Ye Chengxun was beheaded, she was released from the small yard, and she never planned to work against the big house, and after the separation, she also kept to herself, at this time, seeing Ye Qian's tough attitude, she immediately shut up.

Ye Fu looked at Ye Qian with a complicated expression, this fourth sister is the youngest sister in the family, but at this time, she looks shrewd and capable, no one dares to refute what she says, Ji Pinghou and Shizi stand beside her left and right, and at first glance they are supporting her, not to mention that there is a King Yu who did not show up.

Yeats half-lowered his head and peeked at Ye Qian, his heart was full of envy, while Ye Rong, who had always been proud, lowered his head and was silent without saying a word.

Ye Ji looked like he was out of the matter, and the matter of the third room had nothing to do with him.

At this time, there is no excitement to see, what should everyone do, Meng is in charge of the inner courtyard, and Ji Ping is waiting in the outer courtyard, so the funeral will be done.

Ye Qian asked the patriarch to pick out all the suitable successors in the clan, and she went to the Mei family's treasury to check in person, only to find that her dowry had been emptied, and all the valuable things were gone, leaving only large pieces of furniture. Needless to say, they must have gone to the outer room. She frowned and walked around the empty warehouse twice, and went directly to the outer room to grab it, she naturally dared, but it was not justifiable enough, besides, she couldn't tell which ones belonged to the third aunt, and which ones were given to the woman by the third uncle himself, she just wanted to get the third aunt's dowry back, used for the funeral and burial of Lord Mei, and left it to the child who passed by, as for the third uncle's own, it was left to the woman.

Ye Qian sighed secretly, this warehouse has been empty for a few months, and the shelves of the pavilion are full of dust, suddenly, she saw something in the gap on the side of the shelf, Ye Qian's heart moved, she didn't care about the dust, she reached out and took out the thing, it was a thick booklet, and when she opened it, it was Mei's dowry book.
